SPOT REPORT

Leah M. Donato
Spot Report
It is done after an important incident took place in a certain area at a
given time. Verbal or written, it must be acted upon within 24 hours.

The idea is to inform an immediate chief (as SOP, considering that

whatever happens in said area is a command responsibility), or that
one from a higher headquarters or office, regarding the details
relative to a particular occurrence. When written, a spot report may
use the PNP message form, especially if the reporting officer is far
from the receiver.
